No, nothing but acetone. It will look like the raised up writing (which looks chrome-ish) except all over.

That badge looks awesome! I'm gonna give this a try. What type of tape do you guys suggest?

Thanks

Whip,
I hope the link below works. These are L emblems on eBay. I ordered some from this vendor and had a good experience.

Hope this helps.

I am amazed at how fast some of you were able to acetone your badges It took me forever to do my scab (2 or 3 hours), and that was after *****footing around with the first one, then really putting some acetone on the last two. What is the trick, in case I have another vehicle to do in the future?
